More than 70 veterans work at the WACKER POLYSILICON North America site in Bradley County. Friday morning, students from Bradley Central High School honored these veterans at the factory in Charleston.
“Today is a very special day; to all our veterans, thank you for your service and your sacrifice,” said Mary Beth Hudson, vice president and site manager for WACKER POLYSILICON North America at today’s all-team meeting for employees.
Bradley Central High School’s JROTC colorguard presented and posted the flags, the choir sang the national anthem and the members of the band played an armed forces medley.
“The students from Bradley Central truly made this morning special for our veterans and all our employees,” said Ms. Hudson after the event. “It was such a wonderful way to honor our veterans, and we are so appreciative of the school, the teachers and students for all they did to make this an incredible event. The students impressed us with their professionalism and talent.”
